Example #1: I/O Rack Configuration
Example #1:
On a nine I/O 5X24, establish three groups
of outputs with four outputs in Group 1, two outputs in Group
2 and the remaining outputs (1) in Group 3. Group 2 and
Group 3 both have a photo eye input associated with them
and will operate in Mode 4.
Program FCN 8 as follows:
PGM CHN
POS
3
01
4
(Group 1 = 4 outputs, modules 3-6)
3
02
2
(Group 2 = 2 outputs, modules 7-8)
3
03
1
(Group 3 = 1 output, module 9)
The “3” in the PGM display represents the number of
groups, the CHN display is the group number and the POS
display shows the number of outputs in the corresponding
group. (p. 4-7 illustrates FCN 8 programming).
Program FCN 9 as follows:
PGM CHN
POS
3
E1
0
(Group 1 in Mode 0, term strip input)
3
E2
4
(Group 2 in Mode 4, module 1 input)
3
E3
4
(Group 3 in Mode 4, module 2 input)
The “3” in the PGM display represents the number of inputs
being allocated, the CHN display shows which Enable input
is being programmed, and the POS display shows the mode
selected for the corresponding input. (p. 4-7 illustrates FCN
9 programming)
Example #2:
On a 16 I/O 5XX4 controller, establish four
groups of outputs with six outputs in Group 1, two outputs
in Group 2, three outputs in Group 3, and the remaining
outputs (two) in Group 4. Each group requires an input
signal and the groups will operate in Modes 1-4,
respectively.
Program FCN 8 as follows:
PGM CHN POS
4
01
6
(Group 1=6 outputs, modules 4-9)
4
02
2
(Group 2=2 outputs, modules 10-11)

3
(Group 3=3 outputs, modules 12-14)
4
04
2
(Group 4=2 outputs, modules 15-16)
The “4” in the PGM display represents the number of
groups, the CHN display is the group number and the POS
display shows the number of outputs in the corresponding
group. (p. 4-7 illustrates FCN 8 programming)
Program FCN 9 as follows:
PGM CHN POS
4
E1
1
(Group 1 in Mode 1, term strip input)

2
(Group 2 in Mode 2, module 1 input)

3
(Group 3 in Mode 3, module 2 input)
4
E4
4
(Group 4 in Mode 4, module 3 input)
The “4” in the PGM display represents the number of inputs
being allocated, the CHN display shows which Enable input
is being programmed, and the POS display shows the mode
selected for the corresponding input. (p. 4-7 illustrates FCN
9 programming)
